Kushina was the first to awaken, her time as a shinobi helping her to wake up early for the day, though her years as a housewife made getting up a bit sluggish. As she came to her sense she realized just how comfortable she had gotten with Naruto last night. She was now pressed up against him, her breast squishing against his side while her head rested on his shoulder and her arm around his chest, she also had a leg swung over his waist. But as she was about to pull away she realized Naruto had an arm around her waist, holding her close to him as well. Despite this being a position Mother and Son should never be in, Kushina couldn't help but enjoy the feeling.
'He feels so much like his father.' She thought as she decided to snuggle with him just a little bit longer, but as she decided to readjust her leg she felt a warm, hard, pole hit against it. Looking down she noticed something poking out from under the covers forming a tent, quickly realizing what it was Kushina quickly brought a hand to her mouth to cover her gasp, before smiling and giggling from the realization that she may have given her little Naru-chan a boner, finding it a bit cute instead of being turned off.
'I should probably get dressed before he wakes up so he doesn't get embarrassed.' Kushina thought as she silently got out from her position and left the tent. Walking over to her now dry clothes Kushina quickly put them back on, finishing tying her long ponytail she zipped her Chunin-vest on around her large breast. She noticed Naruto finally get up, leaving the tent with a groggy face as he looked at her, rubbing his eyes with his arm. Kushina gave a smirk to herself as she took a moment to properly appreciate her son's body, while he wasn't as good looking as most men she knew, he was definitely starting to fill out, and he looked pretty good considering his age.
'My little Naru-chan is gonna be quite the hit with the ladies when he grows up.' She thought, placing a hand on her hip she said, "Morning Naruto, your clothes are all finished drying so just put them on and head back to the house, I'm gonna go report to the Third about you passing, take care." Waving goodbye as she disappeared using the body flicker technique, Naruto deciding to do as he was told as he got into his clothes and walked back to the house
Arriving at the outside of the Hokage door Kushina gave a knock, "Come in." She heard an old voice come from the other side she opened the door and saw Lord Third currently organizing some of the paper he had on the desk, "You know if I didn't know better I would say that Minato planned his trip to the peace-talk to happen during the Genin Graduation so he didn't have to deal with all this paperwork." He playfully told her.
Giving a light chuckle in response Kushina apologized for her husband, "Sorry about that Lord Third, I'll make sure to give him a scolding when he comes back."
Smiling at her Hiruzen just waved off the playful suggestion, "Don't worry, I'm sure he'll regret it soon enough, especially with the Chunin Exams coming up in a couple of months. Now with that look on your face, I assume Naruto passed?"
Kushina's smile became brighter as she closed her eyes and said, "Yep, and with flying colors as well, at his current skill level I'd say he's already qualified to take the Chunin exams."
"Haha, well we'll just have to wait and see, but considering he's now a proper Ninja now I assume I should send you both off on your first mission, and I assume a standard D rank would be too beneath you both?" Hiruzen asked
"Please no, I don't want my first mission as a sensei to be helping move some boxes or chasing some animal, something out of the village would be great, especially something that could help test his skill level without my help." Kushina said, making Hiruzen ponder his options.
Clicking his tongue Hiruzen went to the desk and picked up a scroll, reading it before he said, "Well there might be something like that, though if I'm being honest this is probably a B-rank mission at least."
Raising her eyebrows Kushina got curious about what the mission could be, "And why is that Lord Third?" She asked.
"I have some information that should be delivered to Minato in that scroll, but most of the high up shinobi are currently spread out and I can't leave the Leaf's defense too thin. So you and Naruto could bring it to him, though it would still be a bit risky, considering it's possible you could both draw attention to yourself from your status. And considering where the peace talks are taking place it could be possible to run into him." Hiruzen stated.
"Orochimaru, what's his current status?" Kushina asked.
"Quite, he's been inactive so far as from what we can tell, but our current intel suggestion that he's not in the area." Hizuren explained about his former student before turning to the red-hair Jonin with a serious expression, "Knowing this do you believe you and Naruto could handle the mission?" He asked.
"Yes, if our main objective is to deliver that scroll than we should be able to take care of it, considering the area will probably run into a couple of bandits which we should be able to handle and give me some could insight on Naruto's skills, plus with the area currently in peace talks it might give Naruto some could hand on experience on how to handle a delicate situation as a Ninja. Though I do have one request." Kushina stated.
"And what is it?" Hiruzen asked.
"Allow me to bring a specific Chunin who I believe could help with the mission." Kushina said.
"And who is it?" Hiruzen asked as Kushina gave a grin before telling him.
Naruto barely reached the door to his house when it suddenly flew opened as his sister ran out.
"HeyLilBroGottaGoLateForAMissionCongratulationsOnPassing!" She quickly said as she gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before running off.
"Bye Nee-chan! Good luck!" He shouted even though she probably was far enough for his voice to no longer reach her, still, it felt nice to say it out loud. Walking into the house he found his Mother in the kitchen, making lunch in her usual clothes.
Noticing his presence Kushina gave him a smile, "Hey there Naruto, I decided to make some lunch to congratulate you for your hard work yesterday, I know its no Ichiraku Ramen but I hope you'll enjoy it." She said as she placed the food on the table.
Sitting down Naruto just gave his mother a toothy smile, "It's ok Kassan, your cookings always great!" He said as he dug into his food.
"Well enjoy it cause you're gonna need that energy, we're going on our first mission in a couple of hours." Kushina stated as she started to dig into her own food as well.
Stopping his eating he tried to talk but his mouth was full, making Kushina sigh at his poor table manners, "Swallow before you talk." She flatly told him, hearing him slurp down what he had in his mouth.
"I asked what type of mission would it be." Naruto stated, excited as to what it could be.
"I'll explain it later but it isn't some lame D-rank mission." Kushina told him as Naruto let out a sigh of relief.
"Now finish your food and get packing, make sure to pack what you'll need cause this mission could last a couple of days, we'll meet at the village gate in 3 hours." Kushina said as she finished her meal, getting up to pack her stuff fast as Naruto continued his meal.
Naruto was walking towards the village gate, ignoring the stares from the villagers he got as he was the giant structure come closer into sight, walking closer he noticed his mother at the gate, along with…Hinata?
Walking up to the two of them Naruto had a confused look on his face as he looked up at his Mother and Hinata who gave him a friendly wave which he returned, but before he could ask about why she was here Kushina spoke.
"Now that we're all here I'll explain the mission, we are to deliver a scroll containing important documents, the route we'll be taking should be mostly desolate and take only 2-3 days to reach." Kushina explained.
"Oh ok Kaasan, but, Hinata nee-chan why are you here?" Naruto asked, to which Hinata smiled.
"I'm here to act as the sensory ninja." She stated as Kushina nodded, "The area to which we'll deliver the scroll may be desolated but isn't in the most stable conditions, it's possible we'll run into some bandits and if unlucky enough rogue-ninja, Hinata here will use her Byakugan to scout the area." She explained.
Naruto nodded in understandment as Kushina exclaimed, "Let's go!" as they all ran out of the village and jump into the forest.
It'd had been a couple of hours since the trio started their journey, Kushina and Hinata couldn't go as fast and use the tree branches to jump as they normally would have as Naruto while definitely had stamina, didn't have the training or experience needed to keep up with them, as they ran along the route at a pace they could follow. Noticing the sun was starting to set Kushina slowed down and signaled her team to as well.
As they stopped Naruto had a confused look, "Why are we stopping Kaasan? There's still at least another hour of the sun left for us to use." He asked, not getting why his mother would make the decision.
"While we could use that time to get ahead it'd be best to set up camp and rest for now, we don't have to arrive at our destination urgently so there's no rush besides, this'll be a good chance to work on some of your training." Kushina explained.
"What type of training?" Naruto asked.
"Your chakra control, it's a skill that's best for you to learn as early as you can so we'll take half an hour to work on it before we set up camp." Kushina explained.
"How will I do that?" Naruto question, he knew the basics of chakra control from his training but never really probably worked on them, instead focusing his efforts on his strength.
"Will start with tree climbing." Kushina said as she made a seal with her hands, a quick gust of wind coming from her feet before disappearing, "Concentrate your chakra into the soles of your feet than" walking up to a nearby tree she placed her feet on the bark as she walked up, "Use it to stick onto the tree."
Nodding understandingly Naruto made a seal, bringing the Chakra to his feet he slowly placed one of his feet to the trunk of a tree. Giving it a tug he felt it stick, slowly he lifted up his other foot, but before he could plant it he fell, groaning as he landed on the ground.
Hinata looked away from where she was sitting as Kushina just gave a laugh, "Tough, huh? That's the point, you gotta focus on maintaining that chakra in your feet and using the right amount, if you can do that using chakra on other parts of your body will be much easier" She explained before throwing a Kunai halfway up the tree Naruto was using, "That'll be your target, if you can reach that height you'll have passed the training." She stated.
Getting up Naruto gave his mother a determined look, "Yes Sensei!" He stated as he formed a seal and brought chakra to his feet once more before planting a foot on the tree again, bringing the other foot even higher before he fell again.
Sitting down next to Hinata, Kushina watched her son train.
"That's some pretty tough training to start him off with Kushina-san." Hinata said, Kurenai didn't really need to teach her team chakra control much as their status in their clans made the training much easier for them as they already had experience with it. But even so, she knew how difficult mastering it could be.
Giving the blue haired girl a cheeky smirk Kushina explained her reasoning, "I know, but he's strong enough to try this sort of thing now, I don't expect to master this for a bit but this will help him push himself."
Smiling the two of them watched Naruto continue his training now able to take two steps on the tree, about to take a third before he fell once more, the impact made Kushina and Hinata cringe as that fall looked somewhat painful.
It had been around 20 minutes since Naruto started his practiced, and while he was making progress, he was getting anxious at not being able to reach the Kunai, he didn't want to disappoint his mother. So he was rushing, and it showed.
"HAAAA!" Naruto screamed as he ran towards the tree, hoping that he would be able to make up for not being able to stick long to the tree with the momentum he had, and while it may have helped a bit, gravity easily overpowered him once he lost a good grip and fell back down.
Kushina could only sigh at her student, she knew that this might be a problem while teaching him that he could get too frustrated and not focus, and as much as she wanted to help he had to overcome that problem on his own.
But as Naruto was fell down once more she saw Hinata walk over to him and offer him a hand up, which he reluctantly took, noticing the light blush he had on his face.
'Looks like my little Naru-chan has a crush.' Kushina thought as she listened in on their conversation.
"You need to relax, Naruto-kun, or you won't be able to focus on your Chakra." Hinata said to the yellow-haired boy.
"I know it's just," he said before finishing in a hushed tone so his mother wouldn't hear, "I don't want to disappoint Kaasan."
Seeing how genuine he felt Hinata decided to help him. "OK, do as I do, take a deep breath and relax." Hinata told him as they both did as she said, "Now calm your mind and bring the chakra to your feet." She continued as they both made the seal together and brought their chakra to their feet.
"Now just relax and focus on the tree, don't think about anything else." Hinata said as they both brought their feet to the tree, Hinata two steps ahead as she watched Naruto slowly but surely make progress up the tree. Making his way to the Kunai as she gave a smirk to Kushina who gave her a thumbs up in response.
Naruto was close to the Kunai, just two more steps and he would make it, "That's great, Naruto-kun! Just a bit more!" Hinata encouraged as she gave the young boy a bright smile, unfortunately, that smile made Naruto stop his momentum, his heart giving a little flutter and he swore he could hear something growl. But before he could think of what it was he lost his footing.
"Ahh!" Naruto screamer as started to fall down.
"Naruto!" Hinata explained as she stretched her hand out to the young boy to take, which he did, unfortunately also pulling him down with her as they both fell to the ground.
"Ugh." Naruto groaned as he regained his bearings, but as he tried to get up he felt something weigh him down. Pushing his hand up he felt it press into something soft, not knowing what it was he gave the object a squeeze.
"Uhh, Naruto-kun." Hinata started, and Naruto realized that Hinata was on top of him! And he quickly understood that he had just squeezed her breast. Quickly getting off of each other Naruto and Hinata both back away from each other, face as red as Kushina's hair as they faced away from each other.
"Uhh sorry about that Hinata nee-chan." Naruto said, hoping Hinata would accept his apology.
Hinata face was still red but she managed to respond, "It's ok Naruto-kun, it was an accident."
Both of them just stayed there, not knowing what to do next. Kushina laughed inwardly at the sight, deciding to spare the two from further embarrassment.
"Alright I think that's enough training for today, let's set up camp and get some sleep." Kushina said as she got up, using the summoning jutsu to bring out some camp supplies before turning to the two of them and saying, "Naruto, help me set up the camp, Hinata, you get some firewood."
Doing as they were told Naruto walked over to his mom as Hinata went into the forest to search for nice wood.
Setting up the tent Kushina decided to tease Naruto a bit, "You know Naruto it's impolite to grab a woman like that, at least take them out to dinner first." She said, giggling as she Naruto tense up and face heat up.
"Uh uh, yeah I'm sorry Kaasan, I didn't mean it, it was an accident." Naruto stammered out, hearing his mother giggle.
Hinata was currently walking back to the camp with some firewood, a decent pile she was luckily able to quickly find. But as she was making her way back she heard the sound of water falling, walking towards the source she stumbled upon a beautifully small pond with a rocky wall on one side as a thin waterfall cascaded down it.
An idea popped into her head, using her Byakugan she made sure no one was near, shilling as she realized she would have enough privacy she put down her pile of wood and slowly removed her clothes.
The sun was starting to set as the night sky began to take over, Kushina and Naruto had just finished setting up the camp.
'Hmm, what's taking Hinata so long?' Kushina thought, turning to her son she said, "Naruto, go look for Hinata, I'm gonna catch us some dinner. and set some seals around the area."
"Yes, Sensei!" Naruto replied as he and his mother went off in different directions to complete their tasks. Walking in the direction where Hinata had gone Naruto looked for any indications of her whereabouts as the night sky finally took over and covered the forest in a blanket of darkness out up by the stars and moonlight.
'Ugh, gotta pee.' Naruto realized as he went towards a bush he made sure didn't have any animals as he relieved himself. Zipping his pants up Naruto looked for any sign of the blue-haired Hyuuga. Just as he was about to give up and head back to camp Naruto heard the sound of water falling. Following the sound to its source, Naruto found himself at the rocky edge of a pond, not noticing a pair of wood and neatly folded clothes behind some rocks as he became mesmerized by the sight he saw.
The small pond glowed light blue from the moonlight, and while it looked beautiful, that wasn't what took his breath away. Standing under the waterfall was the silhouette of what he could say looked like the most beautiful women he had ever seen. She had her hands behind her head as she washed her hair, her impressive breasts stuck out while her butt looked well rounded and large. But then she spun under the waterfall as she moved out of it, create for a moment what appeared to be a light blue sphere around her as her body spun beautifully before stopping.
Naruto had to talk to this person, walking from his spot he stepped on the rocks, not noticing how slippery they were as he called out to the women, "Hey! Excuse me-" He began before he slipped on the rock and fell into the water, not noticing the women quickly disappearing.
Getting up Naruto looked around for the person, "Hey hello? You there?" He called out but got no response, "Maybe I just imagined it." He said as he left the pond.
Behind a nearby tree, Hinata breathed out heavily, hand to her chest as she thought, 'Gods that was close' Before quickly drying herself off and heading back to camp.
Kushina entered the campsite with the corpse of a red fox, it wasn't much but it could last them for the night. As she set the animal down she saw Hinata return with some firewood.
"Hey there Hinata, set that wood down here, where's Naruto? I set him to look for you." Kushina stated to the blue-haired girl.
Hinata turned bright red in response, "Uh, uh-" She stammered out, confusing the red hair Jonin. But before Kushina could ask more Naruto showed up from the forest, and he was clothes were a bit wet.
Hands on her hips Kushina gave her son a confused look, "Naruto? What happened to you?" She asked.
"So Kaasan I was looking for Hinata and then I found this pond and under it was some…" Naruto began to explain, trying to find the right word to describe who he saw.
"Somewhat?" Kushina questioned, curious as to what he saw.
"A goddess." Naruto finished, feeling that was the best word to use.
"A goddess?" Kushina wondered, but then she heard the sound of wood being dropped. Looking at Hinata, Kushina noticed how tense up she was, and she also saw that her hair was a bit wet.
'Ohhhh.' Kushina though as she realized who this goddess was, but she needed to know if Naruto had figured it out.
"Did you speak to this goddess?" She asked, to which Naruto just shook his head in disappointment.
"I tried but then I slipped on some rocks and fell into the pond, and when I looked up she was gone." Naruto explained, disappointed clearly on his face, taking a look back at Hinata she saw her face red.
'Thankfully he seems not to know, if they both knew what happened they wouldn't be able to look each other in the face. Plus since Hinata's still somewhat shy I wouldn't want one of her better relationships to be damaged, she was always close with Naruto and I if he doesn't know it was her she will probably be able to get over the embarrassment.' Kushina thought.
"Well then let's get to cooking! And Naruto, go put on some dry clothes." Kushina said, the sooner they moved away from that subject and focus on something else, the better.
It's had been a couple of hours since the trio went to sleep, and Naruto quietly got up from his sleeping bag, making sure as to not disturb the two other women in the tent as he made his way outside.
'Man those early morning alarms really helped.' Naruto thought as he prepared for the day, he had decided to wake up a little earlier to work on his chakra control. But he needed some help, focusing his mind he tried calling out to the Kyuubi, he was never able to go to that landscape in his mind by himself, but with the way she seemed to be warming up to him, he hoped she would answer his call.
"What?" A voice rang out in his head, Naruto smirking to himself that she answered her call.
'Can you please help me with my chakra control.' Naruto asked, trying to give the best pleading sound he could to a thought.
"Why would you need my help? Don't you have that Hyuuga girl to help?" The Kyuubi question, and for some reason Naruto felt like he heard a ting of jealousy in her voice but decided to ignore it.
'You helped me learn the Multi-shadow clone Jutsu so I thought maybe you could help with this.' He told her.
"I helped you learn that Jutsu cause it was beneficial to me as well at the time, what do I get from this? Helping my container get stronger, doesn't seem great to me." The Kyuubi replied with an annoyed tone.
'Well I guess if you look at it like that but,' Naruto began to say
"But what?" The Kyuubi questioned.
Deciding it was best to say how he felt Naruto hoped that his words would have the desired effect, 'I had hoped it might help us get to know each other, as much as I don't want you to hate me and be free to live your life, I don't want to die from letting you go and risk something bad happening, and, it might help us bond, we'll probably be together for most of my life, and I don't think any of us are gonna enjoy that experience by just being grumpy with each other. So let's try and help each other out and be friends." Naruto explained, but all he got was a silent replied, nothing, feeling defeated that he may have pushed things a bit too far with the Nine-tailed fox. Just as he was about to give up on her help and train by himself he got a reply.
"Fine." The voice simply said in his head, and Naruto could barely contain the smile on his face.
Kushina gave a yawn as she awoke, Hinata getting up with her, looking around the tent, the two of them noticed Naruto wasn't inside with them. Both of them walked outside to look for him, Kushina starting to get a bit worried not knowing where her son was.
"Hinata." Kushina said, Hinata getting what she meant immediately and activated her Byakugan, before turning her head towards up towards the tree in front of them. Following her movements, Kushina looked at the top of the tree and saw Naruto on top of it.
"Morning Kaasan! Morning Hinata nee-chan!" The young Genin said as he waved at the two of them, Hinata just gave a bright smile back and waved, while Kushina placed a hand on her hip with a pleasant smirk, watching as Naruto made his way down the tree by walking down, showing he had mastered the technique. Walking up to them Naruto had his hands behind his head, a bright smile on his face.
"So?" He asked his Mother, wanting to know how she thought of his progress.
Kushina just smiled at her son, pulling him into a tight hug, accidentally pushing him into her breast, but she didn't really care, "I'm proud of you my little student, good job." She told him, ruffling his hair a bit as he pulled away embarrassed like any kid would be when a parent got too affectionate with their child in front of other people. The three of them now preparing for the day as they went to get breakfast ready.
The trio were now walking towards their destination as the sun showed that it was noon, at their current pace they should reach their destination by the end of the day, so they didn't need to rush. But on their way there the three of them noticed a village off the road, and it looked, desolate, not to mention it appeared a bit destroyed.
"Kaasan?" Naruto asked, trusting his sensei to know what to do.
"Hinata, scan the area." Kushina ordered to the Chunin.
"Right." She replied, closing her eyes as her veins near her eye became visible before opening them once more. "I don't sense anyone, it appears, abandoned, though it looks like there was some fight, the center of the village appears to be a bit destroyed." Hinata explained, deactivating her Kekkei Genkai.
Thinking of the situation Kushina decided it would be best to check the area, "We'll enter the village and survey the area, stay close to each other and make sure not to set off any potential traps, we don't know what may have happened here.
"Yes, Sensei."
"Yes, Kushina-san."
The trio made their way to the village, looking for any clues of what may have happened. The three of them could only feel some sort of dread cover the area, whatever happened here was recent. But as Kushina reached the center of the town she noticed a crater situated in the area, taking a closer look she saw a trail coming out of it, a snake-like trail.
'No!', Quickly panicking Kushina turned to her Naruto and Hinata, "We need to get out of here now! Hinata carry Naruto and get back on the route at full speed!" She ordered.
"Got it!" Hinata replied, grabbing the young genin by the waist before he had a chance to question what was going on, jumping on the rooftops back towards the route with him in tow. Normally she would've been a bit embarrassed carrying someone like this, but from the tone in Kushina's voice Hinata knew she had to ignore them.
Tailing behind them Kushina hoped for the best, 'Please don't let him be here, I don't know if I can protect Naruto and Hinata from him.' She thought, but as they were almost at the edge of town she noticed two figures in the distance, one of them extend their arms. "Take cover!" Kushina exclaimed. The three of them landed behind a house to take cover, but as they looked up the sky was covered in cover by snakes, and they were diving at them.
Stepping in front of them Hinata brought a hand to her head level and made a seal, activating her Byakugan as she screamed "Protective Eight Trigrams Sixty-Four Palms!".
Naruto could barely make out the movements of her arms as they moved faster than he could see, threads of Chakra coming out from her hand as it surrounded them in a spherical blue aura.
"Keep that barrier up " Kushina stated as Hinata nodded in response. Kushina pulled a scroll out her pouch, unclasping it she smeared some blood on the seal it had on the inside, a sword now appearing in her hand as she got into a stance ready to swing it.
"When I say now drop it and cover Naruto." Kushina said.
"Right!" Hinata replied.
"Now!" Kushina exclaimed as Hinata stopped her movements and dived towards Naruto, covering him with her body. Kushina coated her blade in chakra before giving it a quick swing towards the snakes, cutting them down in an instant as their sliced bodies fell around them.
Naruto barely knew how to react to the situation, he could tell that this was serious, but he had never seen a real battle like this up close. He could feel that if one thing went wrong, they would die.
"My my, impressive, though I don't think I could expect less from the Wife of the Hokage and the former heiress of the Hyuuga clan." A voice eerily rang out, focusing their attention to the source Naruto saw a very pale looking man, the area around his goldish stilted eyes coated in some purple marking while he had a thick purple rope belt tied in a large knot behind his back. Next to him stood a young man with onyx eyes covered by black rimmed circular glasses while his hair ash-grey.
"Orochimaru." Kushina stated, causing Naruto to gain a shocked expression at knowing who their attacker was.
"Hehe." The man simply sounded out, and Naruto started to regret not getting a D-rank mission as his Mother and Orochimaru stared each other down, ready to battle.
A/N: Pretty intense for a first mission huh? Next Chapter gonna have some fight scenes plus the introductions of some Characters to help flesh this world out a bit, also a bit more fluff as well. Till next time, thanks for reading!
